Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 730: Malacca standoff
"Why does Brezhnev have this image now?" Serov has the feeling of a Japanese dog. The Soviet Union resisted the pressure and attacked Turkey. Western Europe even thought that there were people in the Soviet Union who didn't want to fight. Even if such people existed, It seems that Kosygin, the chairman of the Council of Ministers, is more appropriate, right? Without Brezhnev's nod, this decision to attack NATO countries would have come out so easily? joke…
"It's because the unemployment rate is too high in the economic crisis, and the Soviet Army is too strong to be confronted at this stage, so a general secretary who wants to ease up is created out of thin air to comfort the people of the country?" This argument must be intentional, wait until the other party gets rid of it. The economic crisis, reducing the unemployment rate by one-tenth, will naturally classify Brezhnev as an enemy.
Shelov felt that his thoughts were very reasonable. If he couldn't do it, he would confuse the opponent and slow down the opponent's attack. When he became stronger, he would clean up the opponent. It was a normal choice. The only difference is that the Soviet Union did this in the 1960s and the United States did this in the 1970s. Once the NATO countries get rid of the economic crisis, the time for a counter-offensive will naturally come.
The closest city to this Soviet engineering force is Mosul, an important town in northern Iraq. In this historical time and space, under the joint attack of the Iraqi Communist Party and the Kurds, Mosul did not fall into war for as long as later generations.
"Dad, more than 5,000 remains were found in a mountain pass 20 kilometers away. It should be one of the concentration camps where Armenians were originally imprisoned. According to the local Kurdish old man, along the banks of the Euphrates, such a concentration camp should have Thirty to forty..." At this moment, a young anti-rebel worker came in to report.
"Understood, dig right away to see if you can find clothes that prove to be Armenians. The temperature here is relatively dry, and the time is not long enough to investigate, so it shouldn't be difficult. I'll check it out in two hours. ." Sheloff, holding a flatbread in his left hand and a file in his right hand, replied stunned. He still doesn't quite get used to the name Dad...
He never thought the flatbread was so delicious. It seemed that he could not live a nomadic life. As for the file in hand, it is the list of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Mosul. After all, Iraq, a new socialist country, still needs the guidance of the Soviet Union. They brought in anti-revolutionary cadres from various countries to support the construction of Iraq, and finally suppressed those religious elements from the year before last.
"Before leaving Iraq, all anti-revolutionary workers from all countries should destroy all anti-revolutionary lists and files. This order will be implemented immediately. As for the missing persons, it is naturally the crime of religious elements. They will be tried immediately and then shot. In this way, the current situation is completely different, I am not someone who is used to children." Serov put down the phone and put a smile on his mouth. Now the Eurasian continent has been completely cut off by the Soviet Union, the situation is really completely different.
Since the capture of Constantinople, there is no road in the entire Eurasian continent that cannot be affected by the Soviet Union. This is a decisive victory. Even if the Soviet Union's national strength is not as strong as that of the United States for the time being, it can still gain the upper hand in Eurasia by virtue of its geographical advantages. .
"The Americans want to talk to us about withdrawing troops from Constantinople? To maintain the integrity of Turkey's sovereignty? What confidence do they have that I will agree?" Brezhnev asked with a smile at the Moscow Kremlin. At this time, his smile had a hint of humanity, and he was already amused by the American wishful thinking, "If I do this, I believe the Americans will not be happy, and someone will be happy to give orders on my behalf, Declare war on America!"
"I also don't think we should withdraw our troops from Constantinople, but it's just my duty to tell my comrades what Americans think, even if it's very unrealistic." Foreign Minister Gromyko said silently. Said, as for the relationship between Brezhnev and Sherepin, he just didn't hear it, and he wouldn't ask.
"When will we hold the military parade in Constantinople? How long will it take to clear up there?" Central Secretary Kirilenko asked Andropov, who was very interested in this question.
"I have already contacted Bulgaria and Romania, and the two countries are willing to send engineering troops to help us clean up." Andropov replied flatly, "The major banks and commercial institutions in Constantinople have all been seized, and there are three About US$100 million in cash and 28 tons of gold, the KGB has handed in the specific list." Andropov handed the list to Brezhnev while he was talking.
"I knew that Yura would definitely not forget this, and leave it to Comrade Kosygin." Brezhnev glanced at it with great interest, then put it aside. He is the general secretary of the Soviet Union. Although money is worth the heart, he will not be able to use his ideas to loot. Not to mention that as Turkey's largest city and the city with the strongest economy, there are many good things in it.
The Greek Defense Forces expelled the Turks and only allowed the Turks to bring clothes that they could carry. As for fixed assets such as cars, houses, etc., all of them have been confiscated in theory. In the KGB's plan, these real estate should be used to compensate the Soviet soldiers who died on the battlefield. In the entire military operation against Turkey, the Soviet soldiers have so far lost 1,110 people. This price is not too high. As for how many people died in the indiscriminate bombing of Turkey, who cares about the losers?
Brezhnev has no objection to this kind of treatment. This is very good. The Soviet Union will take over the city, and at the same time, Constantinople can solve the housing problem of the Soviet Union. This is all for nothing. As the general secretary, he naturally very happy.
The same is true for Kosygin. Constantinople, with four million people, is the region with the best economy in Turkey. Even if it is bombed, it is no problem to have two million people. The Soviet Union can just find a way to solve some problems. population housing in the area.
"I mean, get rid of some Kazakhs." Shelepin, chairman of the Supreme Soviet, immediately thought of this issue, "The demographic structure of Central Asia should be changed, we can consider relocating a group of ethnic minorities to live in Constantinople ."
Sherepin is also a Great Russianist on the issue of nationality, but the difference from Brezhnev is that Brezhnev is more obscure, he is more direct. Always insisting on Russia's leadership is still on the lips. The entire Central Presidium is only himself. The national issue of the Soviet Union is managed by the Supreme Soviet, which happens to be the problem of Shelepin's management.
With such a chairman of the Supreme Soviet, one can imagine who the Soviet House of Nationalities is now. Now the proportion of Russia in the Soviet Union is increasing, although this process is relatively slow. But another issue is also worth noting, that is, the issue of ethnic regions. The ethnic groups in some regions are removed to Europe and their living environment is changed.
Brezhnev suddenly remembered that the general political commissar seemed to have mentioned this issue. If so, take this opportunity to fill some people to Constantinople. I believe that the peoples of Central Asia and the Caucasus should not be unwilling. It's not that they go to Siberia to dig potatoes. Of course, most people in Constantinople should also be Russians.
The joy of winning Constantinople made the atmosphere of the Central Presidium very harmonious, at least much happier than Serov, who was doing archaeology in the Euphrates. The Soviet Union would not spit out the meat that was eaten in its mouth. fixed impression, since the Soviet Union really did so.
At this moment, the red phone on the table rang, "I'm Brezhnev, please say..." Brezhnev picked up the phone and said gently, but his face immediately turned serious.
"The Pacific Fleet blocked the return of the US Seventh Fleet in the Strait of Malacca?" Brezhnev, who put down the phone, said to the other people, "The location is in the Strait of Malacca, and the two sides are facing off."
The Strait of Malacca is an important golden waterway in the world. Anyone with a little common sense knows that such a narrow waterway is not suitable for combat, and will limit the combat capability of a global navy like the United States. But at this time, the entire Strait of Malacca was tense, and the U.S. Navy and the Soviet Red Navy were facing each other at both ends of this golden waterway. No one was ready to take a step back.
The matter is very simple. The U.S. Seventh Fleet is preparing to enter the Arabian Sea to support Turkey, while the Soviet Red Navy is following behind the U.S. Navy to intimidate, but because the Soviet Union announced yesterday that it would stop disciplinary actions against Turkey, And prepare to withdraw. The Second Fleet carrying the U.S. Marine Corps and the Seventh Fleet, which was ready to support, received orders to return to the original way, especially the Seventh Fleet. The Asian side is not calm now, and the Seventh Fleet is required to sit in Japan.
The Seventh Fleet of the U.S. Navy, which had just passed through the Strait of Malacca, was about to turn around and return, just to run into the Red Navy of the Soviet Union, which had begun to enter the Strait. Neither of the two largest navies in the world was ready to get out of the way, and a confrontation ensued.
After the communication about your business and my business, the US Seventh Fleet and the Soviet Pacific Fleet reached an agreement on a certain issue, that is, the other party must give way, and don’t even want to talk back if they want to.
At the US base in Singapore, fighter jets have taken off, constantly hovering in the sky, and Soviet surface-to-surface missiles from Indonesia have also been in place, making the confrontation more tense.
"Commander Spiledonov, we can guarantee that once the war begins, the US Seventh Fleet will be sent to the bottom of the sea." Admiral Spiledonov nodded indifferently.
"I don't believe that the Soviets really dare to oppose us at sea?" Admiral John Daniel, Commander of the Seventh Fleet, gritted his teeth with a gloomy face, "Aren't the Soviets crazy? Are you going to challenge us at sea?" ( To be continued~^~)
